## What it is
A VSCode extension that formats Laravel Blade template files with opinionated defaults. It indents markup inside Blade directives, normalizes template marker spacing, supports PHP 8 syntax, and can sort Tailwind CSS classes.

## Use cases
- format blade template files in vscode
- auto-indent laravel blade directives
- sort tailwind css classes in blade templates
- consistent formatting for laravel views
- format blade files with php 8 syntax
- enforce PSR-2 style inside blade directives

## When to choose
- you write Laravel Blade templates in VSCode and want automatic, consistent formatting
- you want Tailwind class sorting integrated into your Blade formatting
- you need PHP 8 syntax support when formatting templates

## When to avoid
- you don't use VSCode (use the underlying blade-formatter CLI instead)
- you need formatting for template engines other than Blade
- you want a fully unopinionated formatter with no defaults

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: formatter, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, developer-tools, text-editors
- platform: editor-plugin, cross-platform
